I am the very model of a Singularitarian

Sencillamente genial el video de Charlie Kam

Y esta es la letra.

I am the very model of a SingularitarianI'm combination Transhuman, Immortalist, Extropian,Aggressively I’m changing all my body’s biochemistryBecause my body's heritage is obsolete genetically,Replacing all the cells each month it's here just temporarilyThe pattern of my brain and body’s where there's continuity,I'll try to improve these patterns with optimal biology, (“But how will I do that? I need to be smarter. Ah, yes…”)I’ll expand my mental faculties by merging with technology,Expand his mental faculties by merging with technology,Expand his mental faculties by merging with technologyExpand his mental faculties by merging with technology

And with our new technology, renewable clean energy,Remove our pathogens and overcome hunger and povertyIn short I am a Transhuman, Immortalist, ExtropianI am the very model of a SingularitarianIn short he is a Transhuman, Immortalist, ExtropianHe is the very model of a Singularitarian

Knowledge in all forms music, art, science and technology,Our brains and bodies all precious and any loss a tragedyImportant recognitions and insights are what we should retainWhile we destroy all of the useless information that remainsAnd when a person dies we lose a profound pattern tragically,And the part of ourselves that interacted with them lit’rallyReligious folks may rationalize that death is really something good(“Something Good? Something GOOD? Eh?)I think they’d change their minds if Singularity were understoodI think they’d change their minds if Singularity were understoodI think they’d change their minds if Singularity were understoodI think they’d change their minds if Singularity were understood

I create and appreciate all of the knowledge that I knowToward greater order even though complexity I know may growIn short I am Transhuman, Immortalist, ExtropianI am the very model of a SingularitarianIn short he is a Transhuman, Immortalist, ExtropianHe is the very model of a Singularitarian

The purpose of the universe is that of all our human livesSince no aliens have come forth this much we can now rationalizeWe’ll spread our thoughts with nanobots that know how to self-replicateThrough solar system, Milky Way or anywhere we designateIdeas are our products that will solve the problems of our fateAnd new ideas for the problems we can’t yet articulateLet’s leverage all our knowledge from the returns that accelerate(Returns that accelerate? Sounds familiar. Ah yes, the law of accelerating returns by Ray Kurzweil, of course, OF COURSE!)So the outcome of universe is something we can contemplateThe outcome of universe is something we can contemplateThe outcome of universe is something we can contemplateThe outcome of universe is something we can contemplate

The singularity is near but I won’t be indifferentIn case something should go awry I’ll do my bestest to preventBecause I am a Transhuman, Immortalist, ExtropianI am the very model of a Singularitarian Because he is a Transhuman, Immortalist, ExtropianHe is the very model of a Singularitarian
